1	7 1st (7) (28/1 +15%) Tommytwohoots	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Tommytwohoots 28/1, Two wins from 44 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 50/1, first run since leaving Shaun Harris when seventh of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Never threatened at Catterick last week on debut for new yard.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/4 +18%) Diamondsinthesand	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(3) Diamondsinthesand 9/4, Latest win at Ffos Las in August. 6/4, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) 40 days ago. In the mix. Respectable heavy-ground form at Ffos Las the last twice; similar surface would be a plus.
3	10 3rd (10) (40/1 +20%) Dodgy Bob	40 40/1(+20%)	(10) Dodgy Bob 40/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, below form fifth of 11 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 61 days ago. Veteran who holds very weak claims on 2024 form.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -40%) Bama Lama	7 7/1(-40%)	(2) Bama Lama 7/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in July. Good second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good, 15/2) 23 days ago, running on. Needs considering. Consistent 2024 form includes two wins; creditable second last time; solid contender.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 +50%) Quanah	20 20/1(+50%)	(9) Quanah 20/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 40/1) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. On a long losing run and has a question mark over current form.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +0%) Apache Star	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Apache Star 4/1, Fourth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Not taken lightly. Inconsistent this term but has possibilities if building on latest effort (beaten only 2l).
7th	4 7th (4) (3/1 -50%) Many A Year	3 3/1(-50%)	(4) Many A Year 3/1, 11/4, improved on recent efforts to win 7-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 16 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Opened his account in Hamilton event last month; back up just 2lb; may remain competitive.
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 +40%) Fylingdale	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Fylingdale 12/1, 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, looked rusty in first-time tongue strap after 4 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Best to forgive latest effort; well treated on her 2022/2023 wins.
9th	6 9th (6) (10/1 +0%) Cubanista	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Cubanista 10/1, One win from 35 Flat runs. Twenty nine runs since last win in 2022. Again shaped as if still in some sort of form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 6/1) 79 days ago. Has a poor strike-rate but generally consistent this year and has a fighting chance.

13:45 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Now that the penny has dropped for MANY A YEAR after a taking success at Hamilton last time out, there is likely to be more improvement forthcoming from the five-year-old and he can follow up off just 2lb higher. Only once outside the first three in her last four starts, Bama Lama is entitled to be thereabouts along with Diamondsinthesand, who was caught a bit too far back before staying on for second at Ffos Las in August.

MANY A YEAR was well backed when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Hamilton and remains potentially well treated up only 2 lb. Bama Lama continues in good heart and rates the main threat ahead of Diamondsinthesand, who handles the mud well.

Judged on their general consistency in 2024, BAMA LAMA and Cubanista look the most solid options, preferred in that order.

1	2 1st (2) (3/1 +0%) Arctic Voyage	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Arctic Voyage 3/1, Free early on when third of 7 in novice at Newbury (7f, soft, 11/4) on debut 18 days ago. Open to plenty of progress given pedigree/connections. Nicely bred; showed promise at Newbury while getting outstayed over 7f on heavy going.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 -31%) Curzon	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(5) Curzon 17/2, Scopey sort and positives to glean from both efforts so far, fifth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Open to improvement. One place behind Charmoula at Newbury last time; remains open to improvement.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/3 +39%) Charmoula	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(4) Charmoula 10/3, Showed the benefit of opening experience when fourth of 13 in maiden (18/1) at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 19 days ago, keeping on without really threatening. About 3l behind Double Rush at Windsor but fared better at Newbury; in the mix.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -71%) Carbine Harvester	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Carbine Harvester 12/1, Pulled hard early and ultimately weakened to fifth of 8 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 7/2) on debut 58 days ago. Should have more to offer with this drop in trip a good move. Speedily bred; failed to get home over 7f at Kempton; this should be more suitable.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/4 +50%) Double Rush	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(6) Double Rush 5/4, Encouraging start when second behind a potentially useful sort in 13-runner novice at Windsor (6f, soft) and again shaped nicely at Haydock. That race sure to work out sand that is the best form on offer. Fair form in 6f events, solid second at Windsor then creditable fourth at Haydock.
6th	11 6th (11) (100/1 -203%) Lima Sierra	100 100/1(-203%)	(11) Lima Sierra 100/1, €18,000 2-y-o, Kodi Bear filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Barbusi. Still too green at Ripon and looks a long-term project. Modest RPRs in sprint races in the north.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 -32%) Borderline Madness	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Borderline Madness 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 12 in novice at Leicester (7f, soft) 29 days ago but likely needs more time. Not solid on her 7f efforts.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 -106%) Threatening	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Threatening 33/1, Foaled January 23. 65,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder gelding. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Angelic Appeal. Dam, French 1¾m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m The Black Princess. 65,000gns; newcomer who is bred to need further; best watched.
9th	1 9th (1) (200/1 -100%) Andalseeyagraham	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Andalseeyagraham 200/1, 50/1, last of 10 in novice at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip. Finished last of ten in 5f contest at Beverley for an inauspicious debut.
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 -371%) Star Chorus	33 33/1(-371%)	(8) Star Chorus 33/1, Foaled April 4. Mehmas colt. Half-brother to 6f-1m winner Bell Song and useful winner up to 1¼m See That Storm. Hood on for debut and he's in excellent hands. Mehmas half-brother to two winners; wears hood on debut; check the betting.

14:15 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A highly encouraging debut at Windsor when towards the rear for much of the contest, SIXTYGEESBABY did well to run on for fourth late in the piece. Gelded since that effort, he may be able to get off the mark. Dropping back in trip looks like a good move for Arctic Voyage after racing keenly when third on debut at Newbury, while Star Chorus looks to be the pick of the newcomers for leading connections.

DOUBLE RUSH stepped up on his debut run when fourth in a hot race at Haydock a month ago and with further progress likely, he's very much the one to beat. Several of these are open to improvement though, notably Arctic Voyage and Carbine Harvester back at 6f.

The vote goes to ARCTIC VOYAGE, whose Newbury effort suggests this drop in trip will suit. Double Rush is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +38%) Pique'	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(3) Pique' 5/2, Winner at Leicester in May. Good second of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, firm, 4/1) 21 days ago, not clear run but still nicely clear of the rest. Up in trip, which will suit, so major claims. String of good runs since her Leicester win in May; new trip could help; unraced on soft.
2	1 2nd (1) (22/1 -83%) Plus Point	22 22/1(-83%)	(1) Plus Point 22/1, Latest win at Doncaster in June. Last of 4 in handicap (6/1) at Goodwood (14f, heavy) 14 days ago. Blinkers fitted in quest to bounce back. Needs to bounce back from a poor run two weeks ago but blinkers could give her a lift.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 -5%) Seek And Destroy	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(6) Seek And Destroy 7/2, Showed a willing attitude when off the mark at the third attempt in July. Evens, proved to be a major disappointment when last of 6 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 79 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she's in the right hands. Bred to stay and had been progressive prior to her Windsor flop 11 weeks ago; unexposed.
4	2 4th (2) (17/2 -89%) Miss Alpilles	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(2) Miss Alpilles 17/2, Winner at Haydock in July. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good, 14/1) 26 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Needs treating as though still in form but this revised mark does ask for more. Unexposed as a stayer and likely she's got a fair bit more to offer; unraced on soft.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 -13%) Divine Presence	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(5) Divine Presence 9/2, Winner at Wolverhampton in June. 11/4, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Up in trip with more severe headgear employed. Well weighted with Pique on AW form; new headgar today; unraced on slower than good.
6th	4 6th (4) (4/1 -33%) Dancingwithmyself	4 4/1(-33%)	(4) Dancingwithmyself 4/1, Back-to-back winner at Ripon this summer and held up in a steadily-run race when fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip, which isn't certain to suit. Two Ripon wins this year; stamina for this trip not guaranteed but she's on the up.

14:45 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Runner-up on each of her last four starts, PIQUE' always seems to do her best work late in races and stepping up in trip could be just what is needed for the daughter of Nathaniel. Jack Doughty's 5lb claim is another plus, and it may be that Dancingwithmyself gives her the most to think about, having scored on two of her last three outings. Divine Presence is another with the potential to improve trying 1m6f for the first time.

The way PIQUE' stuck to her task at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago strongly suggests there's more to come as her stamina is drawn out further here, so she's the most appealing option. Dancingwithmyself and Miss Alpilles were both unsuited by being held up in steadily-run races last time and they could be the main dangers.

All six runners have something to recommend them but the new trip should be of great benefit to SEEK AND DESTROY and she's preferred.

Dam, lightly-raced 1m winner, sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Minding.

Half-brother to several winners, including smart 6f/7f winner Fresh and 5.7f/6f winner Temple Bruer. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. 150,000gns yearling; siblings include his yard's good 6f/7f handicapper Fresh.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/5 -7%) Royal Officer	3.2 16/5(-7%)	(9) Royal Officer 16/5, The most expensive horse at the Craven Breeze-Up sales at 1,000,000 gns but he failed to improve on his opening fifth at Sandown when down the field at Newmarket. Given a break since and worth another chance up in trip. Didn't live up to expectations in June/July but this looks a lesser race; not written off.
6th	1 6th (1) (50/1 -52%) Cangofar	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Cangofar 50/1, Foaled March 28. €20,000 yearling, Almanzor colt. Brother to French 8.5f winner Tilak and 1m winner Candonomore.

15:15 Nottingham Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Hot Dancer sets the standard having filled second place on both previous starts, but he could be vulnerable once again. With that in mind, preference is for HOLBORN, who cost 200,000 dollars as a yearling and is from the family of the top-class Minding. Sea Scout and Love Beach are other noteworthy newcomers, while it is far too soon to be writing off Royal Officer.

Expensive breeze-up purchase ROYAL OFFICER ran in a strong maiden at Newmarket last time so is worth another chance to confirm debut promise back from a break. Holborn is a newcomer who makes plenty of appeal on paper so may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Hot Dancer.

The form standard isn't daunting. HOLBORN and Sea Scout are particularly interesting types among the newcomers.

1	5 1st (5) (2/1 +20%) Gentle Warrior	2 2/1(+20%)	(5) Gentle Warrior 2/1, Improved form fitted with a visor when good second of 10 in nursery at Redcar (8f, good) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Up in trip, which will certainly suit on breeding and this mark looks well within range. Runner-up on nursery debut with a visor fitted; conditions are an unknown.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/4 +30%) Chelsea Embankment	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(2) Chelsea Embankment 7/4, Hard to knock his consistency, posting another sound effort third of 6 in nursery (7/2) at Sandown (8f, soft) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Hasn't been looking ahead of his mark but this longer trip promises to suit him well.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +33%) Manila Thriller	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Manila Thriller 4/1, Winner at Chester in June. 11/1, ninth of 11 in novice event at Goodwood (7f, heavy) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and must find best form. Makes nursery debut on her eighth start but doesn't look handicapped out of it.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 +54%) Bellator Bullet	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(4) Bellator Bullet 13/2, Runner-up on debut but regressive form since, tongue strap on for first time when ninth of 11 in novice at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 14 days ago. Up in trip with hood fitted for nursery debut and he has a lot to prove. There are reasons to believe he could show more if handling the ground.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 -433%) Lazieelunch	10 10/1(-433%)	(1) Lazieelunch 10/1, Improved again when completing hat-trick in 5-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f, evens) 18 days ago, cosily. Up further 5 lb and has to prove he's as effective on turf but clearly demands respect. Hat-trick in nurseries on the AW; difficult to know how he'll handle these conditions.

15:45 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Lazieelunch has to be of interest having won his last three starts but a 5lb rise for the most recent of those wins is a concern. As a result, the vote goes to GENTLE WARRIOR, who put in a career best when second on his nursery debut at Redcar last month and may improve again for this further step up in trip. Chelsea Embankment edges out Manila Thriller to be best of the rest.

GENTLE WARRIOR showed more than in his qualifying runs when runner-up on nursery debut a fortnight ago and with this step up in trip likely to suit given his pedigree, he could be the answer in receipt of lumps of weight from Lazieelunch, who seeks a 4-timer.

The solid option is CHELSEA EMBANKMENT despite him being a six-race maiden. He coped well with the soft ground last time at Sandown.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (7/1 +7%) Desperate Dan	7 7/1(+7%)	(11) Desperate Dan 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 8 in handicap (20/1) at Newmarket (1m, heavy) 13 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Underfoot conditions in his favour again here and he's respected. Five-race maiden whose latest effort ties him in with Pressure's On; shortlisted.
2	12 2nd (12) (10/1 +0%) Groovy Baby	10 10/1(+0%)	(12) Groovy Baby 10/1, Lightly-raced filly. 9/1, good 4 lengths third of 9 to Native Souvenir in maiden at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) 40 days ago. Meets that rival on much more favourable terms now making handicap debut. 4l behind Native Souvenir at Ffos Las but now gets an 8lb pull with that rival.
3	1 3rd (1) (17/2 +15%) Boy Douglas	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(1) Boy Douglas 17/2, Missed most of 2023 but made a bright start to this season, doubling his tally at Ayr (1m) in June and runner-up next 2 starts. Ran well below best on 2 of his last 3 starts, eighth of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) 25 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Brings mixed messages on recent form; not fully certain what to expect from him.
4	8 4th (8) (17/2 +6%) Ardbraccan	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(8) Ardbraccan 17/2, Won on return to action over C&D in April and plenty of creditable efforts have followed, again finding only one too good in 6-runner Sandown handicap (1m) 40 days ago. Respected returned to this venue for all her mark looks about right. Won over C&D in April; largely consistent since; solid effort at Sandown latest.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 +50%) Lunario	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Lunario 5/1, Gained a third victory of the campaign at Hamilton (8.3f) in August. In a change of headgear (visored) not beaten at all far when sixth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (9.1f, firm) 21 days ago but his present mark does demand that bit more. Largely consistent 2024 campaign includes three wins; not disgraced last time.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/2 0%) Pressure's On	4.5 9/2(0%)	(4) Pressure's On 9/2, Ran well in pair of starts during the spring and, back from a mid-season break, he ran right up to his best when second of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (1m, heavy) 13 days ago. Conditions clearly hold no fears and his mark looks exploitable. Generally respectable form this term, solid second at Newmarket most recently.
7th	6 7th (6) (15/2 +17%) Law Supreme	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(6) Law Supreme 15/2, Ran well from easing mark/back on softer ground when second at Windsor (1m) on penultimate start. 4/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (1m, good to soft) 33 days ago and others more appealing. Reproduction of penultimate effort would put him in the picture.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 +33%) Moonlit Cloud	22 22/1(+33%)	(7) Moonlit Cloud 22/1, Course winner. Latest win at Bath in May. Last of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (10f, soft) 29 days ago, ridden under 3f out and soon beaten. That run was too bad to be true but her mar looks about right in any case. Has done her winning at 1m2f; something to prove back over 1m.
9th	5 9th (5) (11/1 -22%) Climate Action	11 11/1(-22%)	(5) Climate Action 11/1, Cracksman filly who matched pick of her 2-y-o form when second in a Yarmouth maiden (1m) in July. Latest run at Newmarket has to go down as disappointing but she's joined a yard boasting a good record with new recruits. One to note in the betting on handicap debut. 0-5 for Michael Bell; switch to handicap level could make a difference.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/1 -38%) Native Souvenir	11 11/1(-38%)	(3) Native Souvenir 11/1, Got the better of one with plenty of experience to make a winning debut at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August. Raced freely and not in quite same form when third of 5 in novice at Kempton (1m) 19 days ago but these conditions look ideal now attentions switch to handicaps. Twice-raced filly who is interesting back on turf; won in this sphere on debut.
11th	9 11th (9) (5/1 +29%) Mr Swivell	5 5/1(+29%)	(9) Mr Swivell 5/1, Latest win at Newmarket (1m) in August. 9/4, shaped as if still in good form when third of 11 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, heavy) 18 days ago taking time to find top stride. Worth considering from same mark. Unraced on soft/heavy; remains in form, having been placed the last twice.

16:17 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Having found only a progressive rival too strong at Newmarket last month, compensation could be on the cards for PRESSURE'S ON. Ed Dunlop's three-year-old makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark and he edges the verdict over C&D winner Ardbraccan. The daughter of Lawman arrives on the back of some creditable efforts in defeat and another good account is forecast. Handicap debutant Native Souvenir is also worth a second look.

Following a solid third at Haydock on his penultimate start, MR SWIVELL shaped as if still in good form when filling the same spot over further on his most recent start at Chester 18 days ago. A good test at this trip looks ideal for James Ferguson's colt and he earns the vote ahead of Pressure's On, who ran his best race since the spring when second at Newmarket 13 days ago. Native Souvenir and Ardbraccan are others in the mix, with Inversion another to keep an eye on.

The suggestion is PRESSURE'S ON, ahead of Desperate Dan in quite an open contest. A few others are interesting.

2	9 2nd (9) (17/2 +47%) Monteria	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(9) Monteria 17/2, 3¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Tipsy Tiger in handicap at Sandown (10f, soft, 16/1) 26 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Returned to some form when fifth at Sandown, though was behind Tipsy Tiger and Amancio.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -115%) Steel Tiger	14 14/1(-115%)	(1) Steel Tiger 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in maiden (3/1) at Salisbury (12f, good to firm). Off 120 days/gelded. Makes handicap debut. Potential improver. Gelded since last seen; brings potential into handicaps and market could be useful.
4	6 4th (6) (11/4 -38%) Tipsy Tiger	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(6) Tipsy Tiger 11/4, Course winner. 11/8, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Sandown (10f, soft) 26 days ago by ½ length from Amancio, kept up to work. Shortlist material. Loves the mud and ran on too strongly for Amancio last time at Sandown; up only 3lb.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -118%) User Amistoso	12 12/1(-118%)	(3) User Amistoso 12/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, heavy, 10/3) 26 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Hung left on the heavy ground (and in new cheekpieces) when a well-held third at Chester.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/1 -27%) Billiegee	7 7/1(-27%)	(5) Billiegee 7/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Newbury in August. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Newbury (12f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back-to-back wins before seemingly struggling on the slower ground at Newbury.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 +20%) Al Mootamarid	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Al Mootamarid 16/1, Last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 10/1) 47 days ago. Back up in trip. Has to get back on track but his third over this trip at Ascot in July is not forgotten.
8th	8 8th (8) (7/2 +13%) Amancio	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(8) Amancio 7/2, Creditable ½-length second of 9 to Tipsy Tiger in handicap at Sandown (10f, soft, 7/2) 26 days ago. Enters calculations on 2 lb better terms with the winner. Tough mark but reliable and gave Tipsy Tiger something to think about at Sandown.
9th	7 9th (7) (10/1 +0%) Glendower	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Glendower 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 41 days ago. Back up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Beaten 9l, 12l and 23l in his last three, the final two handicaps; now hooded.

16:50 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Having justified favouritism at Sandown last month, Tipsy Tiger must enter calculations racing off just 3lb higher in the ratings. The Postponed gelding isn't taken lightly, but BILLIEGEE may be worth chancing dropping in distance. The James Ferguson-trained filly appeared to find 1m4f on softer ground stretching her stamina when weakening into sixth at Newbury 19 days ago and she is fancied to resume her progress. Amancio completes the shortlist.

TIPSY TIGER is going through a good spell and can get the better of Amancio once again despite a 2 lb swing in the weights. Steel Tiger is a potential improver now switched to handicaps after a break/gelding operation and is another to consider.

This may concern TIPSY TIGER and Amancio who finished first and second under similar conditions at Sandown.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
